The image displays a hand-drawn pastoral landscape. The composition features a horizon line in the upper third with a distant village labeled "Steinheim." The landscape is detailed with horizontal brushstrokes and cross-hatching, resembling engraving or pen and ink. Fields with lines suggesting plow tracks or planting rows are depicted in the foreground, leading to clusters of trees and the horizon. The sky is filled with swirling cloud patterns, adding depth. The image is monochrome, using shades of grey and black for contrast.
